The 9 Most Devastating Insults From Around the World
A responsible traveler won’t set foot in another country without
knowing how to viciously insult the people in their native language.
Odds are, you won’t even make it out of the airport before a situation
arises that requires obscenities.But “obscenity” is an ever-moving target. It’s an amalgamation of
cultural taboos, the impact of current events and your mom.
Accordingly, every country has developed a uniquely beautiful set of
curses and insults that set it apart. While some insults are broadly
accessible, like your mom, others will require a little background for
the new student. Thus, we offer this helpful guide to the best and most
vulgar (and very real) insults from around the world.
- #9 “Suck butter from my ass” (Chupe mantequilla de mi culo)
- #8 “A thousand dicks in your religion” (Elif air ab dinikh)
- #7 “He’s as thick as a bull’s walt” (that is, as dense as an erect bull penis)
- #6 “Let a hungry Carpathian
long-haired she-wolf blow your dick, fuck” (Gladna Karpatska valchitza
s dalag kosam minet da ti prai deeba) - #5 “Fuck the 18 generations of your ancestors” (Cao ni zu zong shi ba dai)
- #4 “Grandfatherfucker” (Afatottari)
- #3 “I’ll make sarma with your penis’ skin” (Glirit mortin hed sarma shinem)
- #2 “May God give you to search for your children with a Geiger counter” (Da bog da trazio detzoo Gaygerovim broyachem)
- #1 “Stick your hand in my ass and jerk off with my shit” (Sa-mi bagi mana-n cur si sa-mi faci laba la cacat)

Zune apocalypse.
So you’ve decided that you’re uneasy with Apple’s virtual monopoly on digital music. So you picked Microsoft’s Zune. Hell, maybe you even got a tattoo! You’re bucking the trend, and you’re satisfied with your purchase. It’s not like Microsoft would make a faulty machine, would they?
Well…Happy New Year!

If you meet a 10-foot-tall woman in a snow storm, run
Have you met the Yuki-onna? You might meet her in a snow storm, and recognize her by her pure white robe marked only with a splattering of blood and her lack of feet. She might kill you with icy breath, or lead you into the storm to die of exposure, or seduce you, only to steal your soul. She’s the subject of one of Japan’s better known ghost stories (the climax of which was depicted in Tanaka Tokuzo’s 1968 film Kaidan Yuki Onna) and has also made an appearance in Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.

NAFTA vs the British North America Act
NAFTA treaty may face constitutional challenge in Canada.Premier Danny Williams Of Newfoundland and Labrador, already famous for his immensely successful ABC (Anything but Conservative) campaign during the 2008 federal election, is terminating the forestry tenure of AbitibiBowater and expropriating its assets. This move came as a response to AbitibiBowater’s decision to close a newspaper mill.
This is about two things. First, it’s about government actually
enforcing resource contracts. Lumber mills and Aluminum smelters have
been closing all over Canada not because they’re no longer profitable
but because it became much more profitable to close the mills and sell
power from the hydro plants they were only allowed to build on an
implied or contractual agreement that required them to run a mill or
smelter. Even written contracts haven’t been enforced. Newfoundland is
finally doing something to put a stop to this trend that has made
resource companies buckets of money and put thousands of Canadians out
of work.
Secondly this is about the abuse Federal Law when it comes to
international agreements. Provinces are constitutionally guarunteed the
right to manage their own resources. Constitutionally, this decision
cannot be interfered with by the federal government. This has been
tested in the courts. But the federal government has the sole right to
make international agreements. The question is, can it bind provinces
to these agreements without their consent? Hypothetically it can’t. But
this has never been tested in the courts before.
Danny Williams has unanimous popular support. If he wins this one he
could probably run for Prime Minister and win by a landslide.

Historic, beautiful and interesting footage of Tibetan lamas and yogis teaching Buddhism,
just 4 years after their escape from Tibet, when the Chinese invaded in
1959. “In 1963, for the first time, the Dalai Lama allowed a Westerner,
Desjardins, to film the heart of the Tibetan tradition.” Some
meditation instruction taught by yogis: Tantra as practiced in Tibet, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Lerab’s Youtube channel has all kinds of video gems for those interested in Buddhist and Hindu spiritual practice.
Buddhism and Tantrism: “two films were originally shown on French
television in the 1960’s and are a wonderful testimony, revealing some
of Tibet’s foremost masters as they were then. It includes footage of
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, the Sixteenth Karmapa, Dudjom Rinpoche, Ling
Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Sakya Trizin, and the yogis Abo Rinpoche
and Lopon Sonam Zangpo. The original sixties commentaries have been
retained, even though it may sound a bit dated in places.” “There are
unusual scenes of yogis performing preparatory meditation exercises.”
About Arnaud Desjardins, born 18 June 1925. Books he’s written.

New Fuel Source Developed
Jalisco,
Mexico- A Mexican company has developed a new fuel source derived from
organic material of nearly any kind, which could decrease reliance on
petroleum.
The fuel is is produced by using a specially developed technique to
extract it. Proprietary Organic Osmosis Technology (POOT) gas can be
compressed, stored and easily transported to where it is needed. While
any organic matter can be used as feed stock, some materials are optimal
for producing higher yields.
“We are very excited when we saw the results obtained from using
certain legumes”, noted one of the inventors of the process.
American officials are very excited about POOT gas.
“We plan on acquiring the technology to produce POOT gas in our
next round of agreements with Mexican officials”, said an administration
source. “This could be another step along the way to our goal towards
energy independence.”

Red Means Stop. (NSFW)
Red-light districts can be found worldwide. The best known one in De Wallen, Amsterdam has gone through a lot of changes recently. Other red-light districts in Europe are also in decline, with Sweden taking a completely different approach to law enforcement. [NSFW]
Soi Cowboy in Bangkok is also world famous. While Cambodia has some of the worst exploitation anywhere, Wan Chai in Hong Kong is being gentrified. Others in SE Asia include Geylang, Singapore, Angeles City, Philippines, and Chow Kit in Kuala Lumpur.
Over in India, there is Garstin bastion Road in New Delhi, Calcutta’s Sonagachi, and Mumbai‘s Kamathipura. Some of you may remember the movie Born into Brothels, but you may not know that both a bank and a magazine were set up for India’s sex workers. The problem is no better next door in Pakistan.
Moving East, Seoul, Korea has “Hooker Hill”. Just across the Sea Of Japan, there’s Tokyo‘s Kabukichō and Osaka’s historic Tobita-Shinchi.
As an added bonus – Durban renamed a street in the red-light district after Mahatma Gandhi.

Battlestar Galactica
In the picture below, it’s called Battlestar Galactica:
The final supper. In the picture is a goblet by itself at the table. Is
there some significant clue by this missing representation of a figure
or the cornerstone to the answer? It is such a simple goblet or cup,
yet by itself, being pondered heavily by Lee Adama.If you click on the number representing the goblet, they point out that
Moore insinuates the missing Cylon is not at the table. Well, there go
a a few theories.
(to see the whole picture, you have to scroll to the right by using the gray scroll bar at the bottom of the picture animation)

Who is the final five?
Don’t
forget you have to scroll the above picture animation (by using the
dark horizontal lift) to see the whole Battlestar Galactica Last Supper:

If you did check the hints, and you know that the final five is NOT on the picture. Well that’s what Ron Moore asserted.
So who’s missing?

Ancient Stash found in China
The Western press is heralding the discovery of the “world’s oldest marijuana stash” (789 grams) in the tomb of a 2,700-year-old blond-haired, blue-eyed mummy in the Xinjiang region of China. The mummy is believed to be a Nordic-featured Gushi shaman from the Tarim Basin. Scientists conjecture that the cannabis was being saved for use in the afterlife. In actuality, according to the Journal of Experimental Botany, the stash is the oldest pot to be tested for its properties. In 2006, the Chinese press
reported that Chinese scientists had unearthed an older marijuana
“baggy” in a 2,800-year-old Caucasian shaman’s Xinjiang tomb.
